Autumn Splendor

Clone

Mike Schmidt's Autumn Splendor is a balanced leech/baitfish pattern designed to be fished on a jig hook under an indicator or on a Euro nymphing rig. Its marabou and flashabou tail creates subtle movement even when the fly is nearly stationary, triggering strikes from lethargic trout.
